the Freedom From Religion Foundation specifically states that it is "our critical work to promote nontheism."

And you are denying that?

You gave a list of things you claims atheists don't do, most of which they do, as proven.

Oh well, no one ever said it was going to be easy to shake people from their long held belief in their orthodoxy despite the evidence piled up before them.

That still doesn't make it a belief system. You're talking about the tiniest minority of atheists that have put together groups that promote rational thinking. This In contrast to three hundred thousand churches in the US alone. That you so desperately want to turn this into a I know you are but what am I argument doesn’t wash.

So where is anti-theism proselytism and/or anti-religion proselytism that you are currently bitching about?

By the way, ...

Just in case in your infinite wisdom you cannot recall what it is to "proselytize", then here is a good definition from someone that I am sure that you can trust:

Hmmm, seems like it is on all fours

The part I liked is where you flatly rejected my source but then went ahead and edited your post to accept my source without deleting the fact that you had rejected it in the first place.

that gave me the warm feeling of bliss!

Your source does not support your claim. Your source says nothing about atheism being a belief system. Your source actually contradicts your claim. So yeah, you still don't understand what a belief system is.

Other things I like are how some folks keep spamming the same nonsense as if the numerous links I provided did not exist.

Another aspect of the belief system (in addition to denial) appears to be the belief that if you do not agree with an answer or link or evidence that the answer, link or evidence was never provided in the first place.

It also appears that Spam would appear to be the official potted meat product of the Belief system.

"A List of All Religions and Belief Systems.'

scan down list, find Atheism....

look again at your post...

Unfortunately, some people do not know even half of the things that they believe they know and yet they are compelled to continually demonstrate their ignorance.

Or as the 'Scarecrow' once famously said:

"Some people without brains do an awful lot of talking!"

Wait, so you are walking back your claim that "Your source says nothing about atheism being a belief system" because OBVIOUSLY it specifically lists it as such?

Cool beans!

I already clicked on the link to Atheism, but thanks for the "dare.'

Oh, good, so you read the part where he defines atheism as a lack of belief, not a belief system? How about the bit where he calls claims like yours "daft"?

Eta: to make your error even more obvious, this is a quote from your source on atheism: "All humans (and animals, and everything else) are*atheist*until they first learn about the idea of god(s), and come to believe in at least one of them."
Are you still claiming that dogs, trees, babies, rocks, and everything else share a belief system?

If atheism is in fact a 'belief system' as you claim, other than a lack of belief in, or disbelief in god(s), what other beliefs are part of your claimed 'atheist belief system?'

Hey Big Dog, do you believe;

That the Earth is flat?
That the Sun revolves around the Earth?
That the moon landings were faked?
That there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?
That chariots move the Sun across the sky every day?
That leprechauns, fairies or Big Foots exist?

Does the rejection of one or all of these things constitute a belief system?

How about 2+2 = 6?

Uh, no just specifically taking it from the Atheists.Org and freedom from religions links I specifically linked up above.

(Wow, we went from presumably serious question to borderline meltdown in record time, there. I know it is hard to have your belief system challenged but let us aspire to not make emotional responses. I try not to, and I have to read nonsense like this)

Atheism is no more atheists than science is scientists. Atheists can have all manor of beliefs except for god beliefs. If some atheists want to band together against theism because they believe theism is bad, then that doesn’t make atheism a belief. “Theism is bad” is the belief (if it’s not actually a fact). An atheist believing in Bigfoot doesn’t make atheism a belief, and neither does an atheist believing anything against theism, to suggest it does is childishly silly.

You mean where he calls claims that Atheism is a"religion" daft. Yeah, i sure saw that! Good golly, it is a damn good thing I didn't make THAT claim!

That is why he wrote "All Religions and Belief Systems," which is, of course, what i said.

And you also wrote about anti-theism proselytism and/or anti-religion proselytism and you have consistently failed to support that claim just like you have consistently failed to support your claim where God claimed that Jesus is his son.

Failure all the way around.

The tactics can vary. For example, religious evangelists tend to rely more on personal anecdotes and emotional appeals. Antireligious evangelists tend to rely more on ridicule and name-calling.

I'm probably a bit of an antireligious evangelist and I don't tend to use ridicule or name-calling. My usual approach is to ask people to describe what they believe without using socially loaded words like god, Jesus or heaven. It can be very effective as they realise how silly it sounds without words that they are conditioned to allow to bypass their reasoning.

OK, from your link show me where that is a 'belief' of atheism.

ETA: Specifically, this belief:

Just to get this back on track and if we look at the flip side again, the effects of theism are well known and recorded in history.

In recent history it can be claimed that the safety of children is compromised by theism, if we look at the results of the investigations into child sex abuse of late. The Catholic Church being the worst offender.

It occurs to me that Catholics in general have been let off lightly here.

Muslims generally in our society are called to account for the actions of a small number of extremists. Clerical leaders and lay Muslims are asked to condemn the actions of these few to distance themselves from blame.

Where is the call for Catholics to do the same? The damage done by the Catholic Church is far far greater.

Would like to get some input from The Big Dog here, once he has gotten over defining atheism as a belief system that is.

NB I don't force this on people - only those who want to discuss it.

I do similar but haven’t considered asking them not to use their comfort/confirmation words. I’ll try it but don’t think they would be capable of doing so. I’m surprised that you say they can and have done so with you.

Sounds a lot like the approach of Peter Boghossian (Manual for Creating Atheists). Getting the subject to avoid using the buzzwords could be problematic however.

ETA: Look at the link in your reply, it was from RadicalAtheists. Pay attention to what you post.

Yeah, I get that friend, you see I had already mentioned that the Criticism of religion came from one place, and then you asked me another whole question, A DIFFERENT QUESTION, ya see, and I linked to another website to address that question.

So, two answers, two links.

And here i thought i was being generous. Oh well... ya didn't read the earlier link and ya ain't gonna read the new, so...
